Adam Harris:
Adam first fell in love with Nicaragua on a visit in 1989 with his family. They spent six months living with local families filming a documentary called "Through the Eyes of Children". This film compared the lifestyles experienced by the children of Central America to that of children raised in a Western society. The warmth of the local people and culture assured his return.

Having a personal attachment to the Nicaraguan people, Adam hopes to contribute to the positive growth of the community. He is actively sponsoring several university students and is in the process of starting a scholarship program for local students.

Larry Krause:
Larry Kraus was born and raised in San Diego California on the Mexican border town of Imperial Beach. His father built what is still the most south westerly house in the United States. As a teenager he moved to Coronado just ten miles north and began surfing competetively as and amateur and then professionally until the age of 22. Some of his sponsors included Quiksilver clothing and O’Neill wetsuits among others. He got his California real estate license in 1987 and while attending college in 1988 he founded Emerald City Surf N Sport. He soon afterwards co-founded SMP clothing which he sold a few years later while maintaining the operation of two Emerald City locations in Mission Beach and Coronado. The Coronado location is still in operation and will be 20 years in the running in 2008.

He has traveled allot of the world to surf and most recently visited Nicaragua where he realized the potential for great waves and the opportunity in the real estate market. Having many friends and action sports associates that have invested successfully in Costa Rica and in Nicaragua ( surprisingly ), he began to do some research and quickly decided to invest in the market and work with Nicaragua’s most successful real estate company Century 21, founded by Barry Oliver with whom he happened to meet and surf with in the summer of 2007. Larry will be Century 21’s long needed representative in San Diego California, and plans to open a local office are in the near future.
